Spitfire Spitfire Frame chart on ebay, worth it?

[Dana_Duncan]

Greetings again everyone.

My GRM $200X Challenge project is making some progress, see this thread for details.

https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcforum/ubbthreads.php/topics/429119/1

But I have a question. I found a one page chart that is supposed to represent acurate frame measurements, see here.

https://cgi.ebay.com/1972-TRIUMPH-SPITFIR...Q2em118Q2el1247

Does anyone have any experience with this chart, is it worth the $14 ($10 plus $4 shipping)?

Thanks in advance,

Dana

Dana, I'm doing a 60 TR3A and there is an absoultly wonderful frame chart in the factory shop manual. I kind of suspect that there may be one in the Spit factory manual. Someone on here will confirm or deny that, I suspect. If you don't have a shop manual better to invest your money in one than in a seperate frame chart. Course I may be wrong, have been before and have the divorce papers to prove it.

Good luck, Tinkerman

I f there is one and the manual is on software, then just copy it go to Kinkos and have them blow it up and have them laminate it.Pert near 36X24 that way.

Thanks Tinker and Don,

I wonder if someone has an electronic copy of the manual and could just email the page?

Thanks, Dana

Get the Bentley! It has detailed frame alignment measurements and checking procedure. And everything else you might want to know.

Looking at my factory Triumph Spitfire Repair Operations Manual, the two diagrams in there seem MORE detailed than the one on eBay (and the measurement chart is in centimeters as well as inches)!

Dana - send me a PM and I will send you a pdf of the factory spec and chassis alignment check.
